Special Theme: Reaching the Summit
'Naesoong: Shall We Dance' depicts a Naesoong girl vigorously scaling a rock face with a chalk bag embroidered with the IBK logo. Rock climbing demands intense concentration, requiring one to give their all in every single moment. If you quietly give your best along a set path like this, someday you will find yourself standing at the summit you envisioned. Seen from a distance, the climber's movements almost look like a dance — hence the title, 'Shall We Dance.' If you press steadily forward on your own path, just like this Naesoong girl, you too will soon reach the summit you desire. IBK always cheers you on!
